Early in the morning, Shen Li walked out of the courtyard and saw that breakfast was already prepared—it was Xing Zhi’s handiwork. She had tasted such exquisite dishes before when she was in the mortal realm. Shen Li carried the breakfast into her room and saw Xing Zhi coming out from a nearby courtyard. Shen Li gave a slight nod to express her gratitude.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Li strolled around the West Garden and often saw Xing Zhi coming in and out of a certain courtyard. However, it was not Xing Zhi’s sleeping quarters. Curiosity got the better of Shen Li, and she couldn't resist walking in. She discovered that inside were many spirit tablets with names such as Qing Ye, Luo Xing, Guan Yue, and Qian Ji. It turned out to be a place where tablets of ancient divine lords were worshipped.

As soon as the tablets sensed someone entering, they immediately gathered around Shen Li as if being very close to her. One of the tablets, named Qian Ji, showed Shen Li a past memory: a scene of Xing Zhi when he first arrived in the Immortal Realm, revealing that young Xing Zhi was actually quite adorable.

Xing Zhi also walked in and explained that most of the ancient gods had suffered misfortunes before death, and now, with both body and soul extinguished, they had gone to the mortal world to undergo trials and taste all hardships.

If Xing Zhi himself were to face misfortune one day, he too would be stripped of his divine status, losing his divine power and spells, and would vanish along with the collapse of Xu Tianyuan, dragging the lifeblood of the Spirit Realm into ruin with him. Hearing this, Shen Li deeply felt the heavy burden Xing Zhi carried. It was not only about his own fate but also concerned the destiny of the entire spirit race across generations.

She couldn't help but urge Xing Zhi to live on until the very end of his natural lifespan. Shen Li’s words came from the bottom of her heart. Now she finally understood what You Lan had warned her about not long ago: do not charm Xing Zhi, because there was only one supreme god left in the Immortal Realm, and he bore the fate of the Three Realms.

At that time, Shen Li hadn’t understood the meaning behind those words, but now it was all clear. Facing Shen Li, Xing Zhi couldn't help but confess that this was why he could not allow himself to like her. Shen Li was deeply moved. She had once blamed Xing Zhi for being hot and cold, but now she realized the reason behind it.

Shen Li responded that she would maintain a proper distance from now on and asked Xing Zhi not to tease her again. Xing Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle. The Hundred Flowers Banquet was about to begin. Shen Li went to the banquet venue, and You Lan introduced her to the Immortal Realm’s flat peaches and fine wine. After confirming that You Lan had not tampered with anything this time, Shen Li picked up a flat peach and began eating.

After downing a pot of wine, she fell into a deep sleep. The wine of the Immortal Realm was indeed different from that of the Spirit Realm. When she woke up, she heard the ethereal music from the Ninth Heaven, signaling that the Hundred Flowers Banquet was about to start. As Shen Li flew toward the Ninth Heaven, she suddenly encountered countless huge fireballs shooting directly at the West Garden with tremendous power.

Realizing that something was wrong, Shen Li saw several fireballs landing in the West Garden, instantly turning it into a sea of flames. The fireballs were clearly targeting the courtyard with the spirit tablets. Knowing how important they were to Xing Zhi, Shen Li immediately fought with all her might to protect the shrine. Seeing the disturbance from the Ninth Heaven, the soldiers of the Immortal Realm reported the mysterious fireball attack.

The Heavenly Lord immediately led numerous heavenly soldiers and generals to provide assistance. Fortunately, Xing Zhi rushed back just in time. Shen Li had defended the shrine of spirit tablets with her own strength. Everyone gasped at the charred ruins. Just as they remembered Shen Li, they saw Xing Zhi emerge from the wreckage, holding the heavily injured and unconscious Shen Li in his arms.

Normally, Fu Rong Jun only thought of Shen Li as brave and tough like a man, but now, seeing her so frail and still like a tiny bird, he realized that Shen Li, after all, was a delicate woman—even stronger than ordinary women. Under the gaze of the crowd, Xing Zhi strode forward, carrying Shen Li to heal her wounds. After a few days, You Lan, grateful for Shen Li’s life-saving grace, came to visit her benefactor.

Hearing the conversation between Shen Li and Xing Zhi, she found that Shen Li requested to leave early and not continue her recovery there. However, Xing Zhi, stubborn like a child, insisted that Shen Li must fully recover before returning.
